Great so far

I am a solo camper who likes a little extra space for gear, and this has been good on a handful of frontcountry outings so far. I found the setup to be simple and fast (despite the diagram-only instructions). The storage pockets are a nice feature - clipped my headlamp to the side pocket one night to read for a bit. I am 5'6" and fit comfortably with a duffel bag without touching the sides. Was also able to stand and bend at the waist to change. Not sure how it holds up to weather as my outings have been on clear nights with lows in the 50s F.
Dislikes
Have had some issues with condensation buildup on the inside of the rainfly - staking the sides all the way out seems to help, but if the problem continues, will definitely be shopping again.

I bought this tent because of the space, weight (not ultralight but not too heavy either), and footprint that came at a nice price tag. However, I was disappointed with the set-up and design of the tent. The three poles are more complicated than anticipated during set-up and they felt under designed especially the brow pole; I thought I was going to tear the tent when placing it. Not a fan of the fly either. The color coded buckles are a nice feature, but the asymmetrical fly is again under designed. Fly lies very close to tent (touching in some parts) and without having vents condensation is a big issue. I used extra stakes on the fly to vent and still had a lot of condensation. Lastly, the stakes are very cheap and bend easily. I would buy studier stakes and additional guy lines for this tent.
Dislikes
Overall, the material of the tent is sturdy and durable (except the stakes). Lots of space inside. I like that it came with its own footprint, and the price was great. But the design set-up and functionality of the tent are a killer.
